Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Free festivals this summer.
As soon as the sun comes out we all need to get outside, listen to some music and wear our rainbow jumpers, don't we?
Here's a couple of local festivals to be going on with:
Stoke Fest
Stoke Fest takes place in Clissold Park, Hackney and in 2008 hopes to attract between 20,000 and 30,000 festival goers. The line up for this year's event is yet to be announced but if last year is anything to go by then visitors can expect DJs galore, performances from some of the hottest bands around, world music, circus performers, plays, local bands and artists with plenty of arts and crafts to keep the little people happy.

RISE
The Rise Festival in Finsbury Park 13th July brings together Londoners for a day of music and entertainment in July. The main message of the days events is that London is united against racism and that we can live together in harmony in our capital city. Thos festival is a huge affair and attracts big names in music, last year the likes of Kelis, Jamelia, Skatalites and St. Etienne performed while the ace Bill Bailey had people laughing in the comedy tent. 2008's event promises to be just as good, so check website for line up details.

To be fare, Rise or Unite as it use to be, was never advertised that well and often only left it a couple of weeks before the event.
I am sure as Boris's clan were so critical of such "freebies", I wouldn't surprise if it doesn't happen.
